Walking round the world - The first verified walk round the world was by David Kunst (b. 1939) who left his home town of Waseca, MN on 20 Jun 1970 and arrived back there on 5 Oct 1974. His walk took him through America, Europe, Asia and Australia. At the start he was accompanied by his brother, John, but John was killed by bandits in Afghanistan and another brother, Peter, replaced him. Among the places that they visited were New York, Lisbon, in Portugal,New Delhi, in India, and Perth, in Australia. A total of four mules walked with them, one of which (Willie Makeit II) can be seen in the picture with David in New Delhi. (Photos: David Kunst and Spectrum)
